About this map

Burlington and the adjacent city of Graham serve as the central hubs for this region of the Piedmont, where the landscape is defined by the winding paths of Big Alamance Creek and the Haw River. The area reflects a transition from early milling settlements like Hopedale and Alamance to a modern transportation corridor centered around the Alamance County Courthouse. Genealogists will find significant value in the detailed plotting of numerous burial grounds, including the Providence Church Cem and the Episcopal Church of Holy Comforter Cem, which anchor the local community history.

Industrial and transit history is visible in the placement of the Burlington/Alamance Regional Airport and the network of local roads such as W Webb Ave and S Church St. Small water bodies like Gant Lake and Mays Lake are scattered among the residential expansion of Elon and Glen Raven, illustrating how 21st-century suburban growth has integrated with the older rural landmarks and creek-side settlements.
